Talk:Interleukin 23 subunit alpha

Nomenclature
Shouldn't IL-23 be called IL-12C? Food for thought.Volantares 23:54, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

il-23 has been found not to stimulate production of th17 cells. this is il-6 and tgfbeta. early experiments suggested il 23 was involved but were found to be due to a contamination of memory cells. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.185.75 (talk) 14:47, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Lead sentence
Concerning the lead sentence in Gene Wiki articles, as discussed here and here, we have tried to make clear that these articles are not only about the human gene/protein, but also orthologs that exist in other species. The wording that was reached through consensus is perhaps a little awkward, but it is both accurate and concise:
 *  is a protein that in humans is encoded by the  gene.
 * The "that" in the above sentence is non-limiting implying that the protein (and gene) exists in other species besides human. Boghog (talk) 18:57, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
